Reply to comment by Sjoeqie in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

Yes. If you steal $100,000 if items from someone and the items depreciate to be worth $50,000 you can be held liable to make up the rest of the restitution.
